Dear Readers,

We decided to close the year 2006 with a bang. That's why, here we are
with December 2006 issue of LINUX For You - Fedora special. This issue
has Fedora Core 6 bundled with it and also carries a detailed review
of the same along with the history of the Fedora project including
some interviews of the top shots.

Also, we have detailed stories on the recent Oracle announcement to
provide support for Red Hat Linux where we analyse what has happened
and try to find out from the industry what the implications of this
move would be.

Another important story is the Novell strategy, where we try to find
out from the top shots at Novell India about Linux strategy.
